We are a foodie family who loves to travel. Travelling with small kids is not easy but we have travelled a lot when our kids were small. Most of our best trips are the unplanned ones and we believe too much planning is not good. Just go with the flow and leave somethings unplanned.

Travelling is pure joy and when you travel with your family and friends, this joy increases manifolds. As parents, we get worried when there is a travel with kids but believe me, it’s important for kids to travel for many reasons. I am sharing a few from my experience with you all.

Learning experience– There are many things which cannot be learnt in school or through books. Sometimes our experiences teach us many things. Travelling opens up doors to wisdom and knowledge. Kids can learn a lot by exploring new places about different cultures and new places.

Family time- Travelling together as a family makes all the difference. Nowadays, everyone is so busy in their lives that you hardly get time to spend with our family. Travelling together is the perfect opportunity to connect with your kids. It is the best time to bond as a family.

Break time – These days kids are also busy and stressed out with everything going around. There is school work, home works, extracurricular activities and many other things which put a lot of pressure on kids. Travelling is the perfect way to not only give them a break but also to rejuvenate.

Travel with kids

Make memories– Family travel time is the perfect time to make memories. Do not forget to take your cameras and click a lot of family pictures. Making memories is important as you and kids can look back and laugh about them. My elder one still remembers many small things from our trips. We also cannot forget all the small blunders we made when they were small.

Smarter kids– If you go on a hiking trip, kids can learn how to see a map. If you go camping, kids can learn to be brave in the forest and also how to handle different emergency situations. Travelling can make them good decision makers, responsible and also brave.

First time when we travelled with our elder one, she was just 4 months old. By the time she was 2 years old, she already travelled to 6 places with us. So, there is no right or wrong age to travel with kids. The trick is to not panic when anything goes wrong.Travelling with kids means to be ready for anything at any time. 🙂

Do you have any travelling stories with your kids? Waiting to hear from you.

Traveling gives the kids the experience that nothing else can. It’s fun to see how my kids get excited at the mention of travel , be it a road trip or a flight journey or by the train. Traveling to Masinagudi this Diwali and boy! are we excited already?!

I loved your view of how even the kids need break from their routine life. I completely agree with you on this. I live in another corner of the country from my parents place, so I have to travel with them extensively. I don’t like to plan too much but like to be prepared with a lot of food alternatives and medicines and clothes changes for any contingencies

I completely agree with you on all the points, travelling is so much fun but when we travel with our kids the fun gets doubled, kids are a bunch of energy and they teach us parents too how to enjoy without worrying about anything. So for us travelling is always a matter of two way learning. Thanks for sharing this post Deepa 🙂

Such a cute post. Although I am all for travelling with kids I never did realise how many skills they can pick up from travels and outings. In fact we can enrich their learning by supplementing it with books, songs and creative activities.

I always thought of travel with a baby as hectic. But maybe because my baby just turned one and had a horrible sleep schedule for most of her first year. But now that she is older, we do have plans to travel, so let’s see how this goes! Thanks for the tips. 🙂

Older kids need to travel especially to take a break from school schedules and studies. It’s also great bonding time with family. With toddlers one has to manage their sleep eat schedules so travelling is harder but it also gives parents a break.

Yes traveling with kids means we have to be prepare as kids have random mood swings and they take time to adjust. Once they feel comfortable everything goes easy. Thanks for sharing your experience. Look like you have great time.
